Last night in karate we had a guest sensei in town. He’s a friend of our teacher from NYC and they trained and grew up together. He’s more of a BJJ/Muy Thai guy, and it shoes in how he teaches. Quicker pace, and lots of boxing/style drills, but with the Thai flavor.

Fun class, but not quite what I like, and not quite how I wanted to work this week. With the black belt test on Saturday, I was hoping to train hard, but not anything crazy and had to really slow down a few of the twisty exercises last night. He’s teaching tonight, using heavy bags, and I’d like to go, but I’m thinking rest would be a better plan for me this week.
